Description

  1. When you enter MFA you hit enter and nothing happens. MFA is time sensitive, make 'enter' commit.
  2. Remember state of checkbox from previous sessions, it's unchecked it's time, forcing user to spend time checking it
  3. Consider other improvements to make it user friendlier, check how GH and google do it.

Research direction

Start by locating the MFA login UI and its existing submit and checkbox state handling. Compare the current flow with the issue's Enter-key and remembered-checkbox requirements, then review the GitHub and Google MFA flows mentioned in the issue. Done means Enter submits MFA, the checkbox state persists between sessions, and any additional usability changes have a defined scope.
